Elton & Joel Add 2nd Wrigley Date

Thought this would be of interest to some folks, like me for example, who missed the pre-sale for season ticket holders and got hosed by the less-than-efficient tickets.com website.

Of interest...it seems as though they are allowing folks who bought tickets for July 21st to swap them for comparables for the July 16th.

OT: Jose Canseco busted again!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,436412,00.html

Former wildman slugger and admitted steroid user Jose Canseco was held by immigration authorities at the Mexican border for more than nine hours after agents allegedly found a prescription fertility drug on him, his lawyer said Friday night.

The ex-baseball star was stopped at San Diego's San Ysidro crossing Thursday after agents allegedly spotted human chorionic gonadotropin — a fertility drug that helps produce testosterone — in his car, said attorney Gregory Emerson.

The drug is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency and is illegal without a prescription.

"Jose is really frustrated," Emerson told The Post. "I think he's angry. Rather than have a reason to subject him to a search and detention, they did it because it was Jose Canseco. And that's not fair."
